About time~ The APUs are stupidly priced right now. APU bundles are costing almost as much as i3 and i5 bundles. The only benefit is a better onboard video, but at the cost of everything else in performance. Even then, the onboard is still pretty weak, only capable of delivering a barely playable experience.

The definitely come in way under i5 bundles, they actually come in cheaper than some i3 bundles, I don't know where you buy your parts from. $180 for a motherboard and CPU is tough to beat.
